Default Turbo install progress... and ?'s

Well, I have been slowly installing my junkyard turbo on my daily driven civic (I love how that is possible). So far I have installed the fuel management (filetofit circuit, 450cc DSM injectors and an cartec FPR/FMU adjustable) and this saturday afternoon I installed the oil pan w/ drain fitting that I plugged off.

So I guess all I have left it put on the manifold and IC, charge pipes and oil/coolant lines.
My question is on the Oil lines. If I take off the oil sender, will a lot of oil come pooring out resulting in needing to drain the oil first or can I get away with changing out the sender to put in my oil fittings/lines?

Also, does anyone know where I can get vacuum caps? My oil fitting is leaking from the what I have to plug off the inlet with. I need a cap, but I can never find one.

just drain the oil, remove the sensor and run lines. it'd be good to have fresh oil anyway.

I remembered with I change my oil pressure switch (?), oil didn't gushed out. The oil should be near the top of the oil pan, I don't think it goes higher than that.

Have fun with the project.
